If you know A&K you’ll understand why I’m so excited about the new AK UW100true wireless earbuds. And if you don’t, here’s a quick intro. A&K are completely mad, making audio products to standards way beyond what most manufacturers offer. I reckon these headphones won’t just help you hear what your favourite artists are playing. I reckon you’ll be able to hear what they werethinking.

These headphones have serious specs appeal
Let’s start with what these earbuds don’t do: they don’t haveactive noise cancelling. That’s because A&K believes that ANC removes too much musical information; instead, they’ve concentrated on creating the most effective passive noise cancellation possible, and it works so well they’ve also enabled four levels of transparency so you can hear things around you when required. That means you get to hear the full aptX Adaptive sound quality, which is capable of delivering 24-bit audio at up to 420kbps, without losing any of it.

The second difference is that the drivers are Knowles Balanced Armature drivers, which you’re more likely to find in very expensive in-ear monitors for musicians: they deliver a much more detailed, distortion-free performance than normal earbud drivers.
The AK UW 100s go on sale in April and they’re much cheaper than I thought they’d be: at £249 / $260 / €299 / AU$399 they’re aggressively priced for such high-specification headphones.
